Overview of ATLAS results

Introduction

•  Use variety of final states to provide insight into various stages of heavy-ion (HI) collision •  Hard probes:

•  Colorless objects e.g. electroweak bosons – standard candles in the medium •  Color objects e.g. jets, hadrons – insight into partonic energy loss in the QGP

•  Bulk particle production: •  Sensitivity to initial geometry, initial conditions, collective behavior, etc

•  Disentangle initial- and final-state effects using p+Pb and pp systems •  Understand the origin of ridge in the small systems

•  Perhaps find a connection between p+Pb and Pb+Pb systems

Hard probes in p+Pb and Pb+Pb

systems

Z boson in pp and p+Pb systems •  Z boson production with decay via muon channels studied in pp 5TeV

data •  Cross section in the fiducial volume of 66<Mµµ<116 GeV, |yZ|<2.5 is:

590±9 (stat.) ±11 (syst.) ±32 (lumi.) pb •  In good agreement with the NNLO calculation using the CT14 PDF:

573.77+13.94-15.96 pb

•  RpPb extracted using the old p+Pb result and new pp reference data •  Enhancement in the Pb-going direction (negative yZ) and depletion in the p-going

direction (positive yZ) – observation consistent with nPDF predictions

See Mirta Dumancic’s talk

RpPb of high-pT hadrons •  Hint of enhancement of particle production at high-

pT in Run-1 data where pp yields were interpolated from 2.76 and 7TeV

•  Now with new pp 5TeV data, spectra of charged particles with pT up to 100GeV measured •  Nuclear modification factor RpPb for old p+Pb data

(ATLAS-CONF-2014-029) extracted using new pp spectra •  Huge improvement in reducing systematic uncertainties

(earlier dominated by interpolation) •  RpPb is flat and consistent with unity

Photon-jet correlations in pp and Pb+Pb •  Run 1 data established: isolated photon yields are not affected by

the medium à Use jet+photon events to measure jet energy loss in the QGP

•  Two observables: •  per-photon xJγ= jet pT / photon pT •  Δϕ – difference in azimuthal angle between a photon and jet •  In the pp system:

•  For xJγ: good agreement of data with PYTHIA8 simulation •  For Δϕ: good agreement for larger Δϕ, smaller Δϕ does not describe the data

due to lack of fragmentation photons in the MC


ATLAS-CONF-2016-110

See Brian Cole’s talk

Photon-jet correlation in Pb+Pb

•  In Pb+Pb 0-10% centrality: •  xJγ is shifted towards lower values and shape

is modified wrt predictions for all photon pT bins

•  Shape of the Δϕ distribution is consistent with that in pp collisions and in simulated Pb+Pb events

•  Observation qualitatively consistent with results at 2.76TeV


See Brian Cole’s talk

Charmonium production •  J/ψ and ψ(2S) production measured in pp and Pb+Pb at

5TeV •  Kinematic region: 9<pT<40 GeV and |y|<2 •  Tool to provide information on temperature and degree of

deconfinement of the QGP •  Test response of medium to prompt (cc-bar) and non-prompt (b

decay) components •  Use pseudo-proper decay time (τ) to distinguish between two

production mechanisms •  Non-prompt fraction consistent between three rapidity intervals in pp

and also between 5 and 13TeV data


ATLAS-CONF-2016-124

RAA for J/psi •  RAA measured for prompt and non-prompt

J/ψ production •  Strong J/ψ suppression •  As a function of pT: 0.2-0.4 for prompt (small

rise for high pT), 0.3 for non-prompt (flat) •  As a function of Npart: drop from 0.8-0.2 with a

similar trend for both components •  Striking similarity in the suppression pattern


See Sebastian Tapia’s talk See Jorge Lopez’ poster

ATLAS-CONF-2016-124

Suppression of ψ(2S) vs J/ψ

•  Ratio of RAA for ψ(2S) to J/ψ measured for prompt and non-prompt production •  Prompt: ratio ~0.5 i.e. ψ(2S) suppressed more than J/ψ due to lower binding

energy, less sensitivity to the recombination due to pT>9GeV requirement •  Non-prompt: ratio consistent with unity, consistent with production outside

the medium

ATLAS-CONF-2016-124

Light-by-light scattering in UPC events


•  Light-by-light (γγ à γγ) scattering: elastic scattering of two photons •  Tested indirectly in measurements of the

anomalous magnetic moment of the electron and muon

•  Despite its fundamental simplicity, no direct observation so far due to very small cross sections

•  Proposed as a possible channel to study •  Anomalous gauge couplings •  Contributions from charged SUSY partners

of SM particles •  Recent phenomenological studies/preditions

for SM rates: •  arxiv:1305.7142 (d’Enterria et al) •  arxiv:1601.07001 (Szczurek et al)

•  p,Pb is a source of EM fields

•  Very small Q2 of initial photons for PbPb à outgoing diphotons produced at small pT(γγ)

•  Box diagrams involve charged fermions (leptons or quarks) and W bosons

Light-by-light scattering in UPC events •  Search for signal diphoton candidates using:

•  Dedicated trigger: little activity in the calorimeter, no activity in the forward direction, little activity in the tracker

•  Two photons with ET>3GeV, Mγγ>6GeV, Aco=(1-Δϕγγ/π)<0.01 •  Exclusivity requirement: no tracks originating from the primary vertex

•  Excess in the data consistent with the light-by-light signal (arxiv:1601.07001) •  First direct observation of the light-by-light signal

measurements at 2.76TeV


ATLAS-CONF-2016-105

p+Pb systems •  5 and 13TeV pp data allow energy comparisons •  Events selected using the dedicated trigger

strategy - high-multiplicity track (HMT) triggers •  Ridge structure visible by eye in events with high

Nrec •  Fits to per-trigger yields include higher

harmonics (n≤4) for the first time •  p+Pb data reanalized w/o dependence on ZYAM

procedure


arxiv:1609.06213 Submitted to PRC

Ridge in pp and p+Pb systems

•  In pp v2 is flat with Nch and non-zero even for low Nch values

•  Agreement in all Fourier coefficients between 5 and 13TeV pp collisions

•  v2 and v3 harmonics larger in p+Pb collisions and raise monotonically

•  v4 tends to be consistent between the two collision systems


arxiv:1609.06213

See Sasha Milov’s talk

Ridge in pp and p+Pb systems

• Shape of pT-dependence of v2 is consistent between p+Pb and pp systems (scaled by 1.51)

•  v4/v22 ratio flat with Nch, higher for pp than p+Pb

•  Hint of the common origin of ridge in the two systems?

Multi-particle cumulants in pp •  Multi-particle correlations in azimuthal angles measured in pp collisions

•  Two collisions energies explored: 5 (28 pb-1) and 13TeV (75 nb-1) •  Using well-established Q-cumulant method •  Expressed in terms of c2{4} which relates directly to elliptic flow v2{4}

•  Tool to assess collective nature of the pp system


Cumulants are extracted for reference particles (Ntrk

ref): •  0.3<pT<3 GeV •  0.5<pT<5 GeV using two methods: Method 1: fixed Ntrk

ref multiplicity (avoids multiplicity fluctuations) Method 2: events are selected using Ntrk(pT>0.4 GeV)

ATLAS-CONF-2016-106

Multi-particle cumulants in pp

•  Weak energy dependency to cumulants, however systematically higher c2{4} measured at 13TeV at low Ntrk, at higher Ntrk this trend is reversed

•  In Method 1: cumulants positive therefore no evidence of collective behavior •  In Method 2: negative cumulants over a broad range of Ntrk values •  PYTHIA confirms a negative contribution of fluctuations in Method 2 •  Conclusion: c2{4} in pp is sensitive to the choice of event class

•  Multi. fluctuations and non-flow could give a negative contribution to c2{4} •  Premature to conclude on collectivity w/o quantify influence of these effects


ATLAS-CONF-2016-106


Summary

•  Excellent performance of the ATLAS detector in Run 2 •  New results based on pp and Pb+Pb data at 5TeV have been

released •  RpPb for charged hadrons is consistent with unity up to pT~100GeV •  Photon-jet correlations confirm strong modification of xJγ with event

centrality •  Prompt and non-prompt J/ψ and ψ(2S) production shows a different

suppression pattern •  First direct observation of light-by-light scattering in UPC collisions,

signal significance at 4.4σ, good agreement with SM predictions •  Flow harmonics extracted to 7th order with SP and 2PC methods,

consistency with measurements from Run 1 •  Energy and system dependence in addition to Nch and pT dependence

of the ridge related observables may improve our understanding of small systems

•  Multiplicity fluctuations give a negative contribution to c2{4} à interpretation as collectivity may be premature

Electroweak bosons in Pb+Pb system

•  Z, W and γ boson production has been studied in Pb+Pb system at 2.76TeV •  They are produced in hard scattering before the QGP is created

•  Their production yield per binary collision is flat with centrality and consistent with the NNLO or NLO calculations

•  They do not interact with the QGP and are established as standard candles for measurements tracking partonic energy loss

•  In case of W boson production, yields can be only described after including the isospin effect

•  Nuclear modifications to PDFs remain unclear within the precision reached in the Pb+Pb system

Photon-jet correlations in Pb+Pb

• Background corrections: •  Combinatoric bkg contributes at low jet pT i.e. pT<50 GeV and is

strongly centrality dependent, almost negligible in 30-50% bin •  Dijet bkg contributes to a broad range of jet pT in particular

populating the region of jet pT > photon pT


Prompt and non-prompt J/ψ production in pp

•  Very good agreement of MC predictions with the data for prompt and non-prompt components in the 5TeV pp system

•  Non-prompt fraction consistent between three rapidity intervals and also between 5 and 13TeV data

Forward-backward correlations •  Measured with charged particles in |η|<2.4 and

pT>0.2GeV •  Three collision systems investigated: pp (13TeV),

p+Pb (5.02TeV) and Pb+Pb (2.76TeV) •  Novel approach to disentangle short- (SRC) and

long-range correlations (LRC) developed •  SRC is observed to be much stronger for opposite-charge

pairs than for the same-charge pairs, while LRC is found to be similar for the two charge combinations

•  After subtracting SRC, Csub is decomposed into a sum of products of Legendre polynomials


arxiv:1606.08170

Forward-backward correlations •  Both SRC and LRC contributions as a function of Nch follow a

power-law fit •  Highest contribution from SRC in pp than p+Pb and Pb+Pb •  LRC tend to be consistent between three collision systems


arxiv:1606.08170

High-pT exclusive dimuons •  Ultra Peripheral Collisions (UPC) with b>2R

•  Intense source of photons (~Z2) •  Well described by Weizsacker-Williams (EPA)

•  MC simulation: STARLIGHT 1.1 (integrated over nuclear excitation states)

•  Signal requirements: two good muons from the common vertex with unlike signs in the fiducial range: pT,1, pT,2 > 4 GeV, |η1|, |η2| < 2.4, Mµµ > 10 GeV

•  UPC dimuon pair should have pT < 200 MeV and thus small acoplanarity (Aco = 1 − |∆φ|/π) •  STARLIGHT does not include FSR photons à broadening

of the Aco distribution expected
